We as a family love Starchild Windermere. The staff is very friendly and easy to talk to. The are…read morealways great when it comes to communication. Our son has been going there from pre-K, he is now 8 and still loves it. Not to mention the hours are great for us working parents. He enjoys going to camp there in the summer soaking in all the wonderful field trip adventures they get to go on, and playing with his friends. Our daughter also goes there and we are always amazing of how much she is growing and learning. We feel safe having our kids there as well as our kids feel safe there. Which is hard to find in a child care centers these days.

We had a horrible experience here. After 3 weeks we were told that our 3 1/2 year old child would…read morenot be successful in this program, and should be tested for behavioral issues. We were given limited feedback as to what was happening in the classroom and when we did get feedback it was inconsistent from day to day. One day he didn't listen well and the next day he participated in all activities and was a joy to have in the class. Very disappointed in how this situation was handled after only 3 weeks.

Where do I begin... We started researching preschools for our son when he was still a young baby…read more Given our very high expectations we could not have been more relieved when we learned about Growing Minds and had the immense privilege of meeting Mrs. Uzma Ansari! She has undoubtedly gone above and beyond dedicating herself to early childhood education for over 20 years. Her passion and compassion along with her genuine love for all the little ones is undeniable! Our son has attended the school for almost 3 years now. We feel so blessed that his first experience with formal education has been at Growing Minds. The teachers follow Mrs. Ansari's vision and have worked alongside her for years, (which is so rare nowadays) and makes such a difference! Being a Montessori School, our son has consistently had the same teacher: Mrs. Carattini. We could not be more grateful for how loving, patient, gentle, nurturing and caring she is. The result is, our son, along with his little peers' flourish into confident, independent, curious children who have undoubtedly been positively impacted by a unique, positive learning environment. Montessori education makes a world of a difference and challenges students to remain true to who they are while cultivating a genuine love for learning. I could not recommend Growing Minds Montessori School more highly to anyone who is looking for a solid educational foundation as well as a loving, nurturing environment for their child. It was the best decision of our lives, and it will be yours too!

I chose this school for my twins who were entering pre-k4. They did such a phenomenal job with my…read moregirls that I elected to keep them there for their kindergarten year. Now they are entering first grade well above grade level and are often regarded as the kindest and most well-behaved children. I credit much of their social and academic development to Mrs. Ansari, Mrs Carratini, and the other wonderful teachers at GMMS. If you value high quality montessori education and want a supportive and peaceful learning environment for your little one then this is the place!

My daughter started VPK at Cranium Academy with Ms. Lindsey as her teacher. She was not only sweet…read moreand kind, but she consistently went above and beyond for all of her students. Thanks to her dedication, my daughter thrived and developed a love for learning. This year, she graduated from Mrs. Neysha's classroom, which was another phenomenal experience. Mrs. Neysha was just as caring and personable, creating a nurturing environment where every child felt valued. She taught so many important lessons, both academically and personally, and helped my daughter achieve Principal's Honor Roll. I truly could not have asked for a better school or more amazing teachers. We are so grateful for the love, support, and education our daughter has received at Cranium Academy. We love this school and can't wait to see what next year will bring!

I have two children at the school. No school is perfect and every child's experience will be…read moredifferent. My kids were both born in Florida, and our family has moved around quite a bit, so we've seen different school environments. That said, Windermere Prep has been much more than just a school for our family it has truly been an experience. The campus is beautiful. The classrooms and teachers are nurturing, and the school offers strong academic programs, including the IB curriculum. My children have also had opportunities to participate in international trips and other experiences that helped them grow beyond the classroom. At the same time, like any school, students still need to take responsibility for their own studying and effort. I've found several administrators and teachers including Mr. Villatico, Dr Fouche, Mr Muenker, Ms. Gemma very supportive and easy to work with. When concerns are raised, the school does respond and work toward solutions. We are proud to be Lakers.

The bullying there is over the top. The school does nothing . Have you ever had a teacher tell you not to try out . I wish they would say that to me . I'd make them feel super small when I was finished with them. Also they are way behind public school in classes it's just crazy don't waste the money . Absolutely horrible school . My advice to anyone is stay away .
